A high-contrast italic serif with a compact, slightly condensed footprint and a brisk forward slant. Strokes transition sharply between hairline thins and weighty verticals, with tapered, flared terminals that feel drawn rather than mechanically bracketed. Serifs are sharp and minimal, and many joins finish in pointed, teardrop-like cues that reinforce the calligraphic construction. Counters are relatively tight and the overall texture is lively, with a rhythmic alternation of thick and thin that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine features, book and film titles, and pull quotes where its contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding or packaging accents, especially when paired with a calmer roman or sans for body text. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes due to the fine hairlines and tight interior spaces.
The tone is polished and literary, balancing classic sophistication with a bit of energetic, handwritten flair. It reads as fashionable and upscale—more poised than playful—yet expressive enough to add personality to short passages and display settings.
Designed to deliver a contemporary editorial italic with pronounced contrast and tapered, flared detailing, offering an expressive alternative to more conventional text italics. The intent appears to be a refined, attention-grabbing voice for emphasis and display while maintaining a disciplined serif structure.
Uppercase forms show strong diagonal stress and crisp apexes, while the lowercase leans into flowing, cursive-like structure with energetic entry and exit strokes. Figures follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that suit larger sizes. The overall spacing feels tuned for a sleek, editorial line, producing a dark–light cadence typical of high-contrast italics.
